The Daily Life of a Down-on-Hard-Life Medicine Girl Supporting Her Family

Chapter 239

The Zhao family's dinner party was small but very warm and cozy.

After the meal, we drank tea together to aid digestion, while listening to the arrangements made by the old man and the others.

“Our family still arranges things this way: the eldest son will be in charge of Baicaotang,” Zhao Chengxun said. “You have to take on this responsibility.”

Two-thirds of the profits go to the public, and one-third goes to him.

The principle of "more work, more pay" is clearly defined.

Spring is warm and fragrant; indeed, everyone has their own arrangements.

This clear and straightforward approach is quite good.

"Second brother, you must pay attention to two things when you go to the capital," Zhao Chengxun instructed: "First, you must take care of your health. It is good to study hard, but you must also pay attention to rest. You can't do anything without good health."

Chunnuan nodded in agreement with this idea.

Doctors see too many injuries and illnesses; what can they do if their bodies aren't strong enough?
Eating and walking are difficult.

The next exam... that's the real test of one's physical strength!
"I've heard people say that the next exam can really make you feel like you've been skinned alive." Mrs. Zhao, Zhou, quickly added, "The second son's wife and her husband, Zhang, will be going with him on this trip."

The men were responsible for driving the carriage, while Aunt Zhang was best at making soup.

"Once we arrive in the capital, let's rent a courtyard to stay in first, and then we can discuss the rest."

It's not impossible to buy property in the capital, but the key is whether the second son can pass the imperial examination.

Another important point is whether the second son stays in the capital or is sent to a post outside the capital after passing the imperial examination. This is because the second son is the one who buys property in the capital.

"The brothers Awen and Awu also went along."

Awen is a pageboy, and Awu has some martial arts skills.

Spring warmth makes me think that the logistical support is quite good.

This is what it means to lift something up with the combined efforts of the whole family.

"The third child..."

Seeing that Zhao Minghua was daydreaming, Zhao Chengxun called out his name directly.

"Father, please let me know if you need anything."

Zhao Minghua immediately perked up; sometimes he could joke and play around, but other times he couldn't act recklessly.

Especially when the whole family discusses important issues, he dares not be careless in the slightest.

"Your most important thing right now is to protect your wife. After she gives birth, you need to find a proper job and stop running around aimlessly all day. You're going to be a father soon..."

So, you're completely useless?
Zhao Minghua glanced at Chun Nuan, who immediately lowered her head.

It doesn't matter, she doesn't mind anyway.

This person is playing dumb to fool others; he even managed to deceive his own family. That's quite impressive.

"Got it, Dad."

He has already decided that he will go to the capital after giving birth in the spring. The capital is waiting for him to make his mark.

"You're the most troublesome one."

The son in front of me looks well-behaved, but...

"Alright, sir, the child is still young. He'll understand the responsibility when he becomes a father."

Zhou immediately defended her.

She wasn't heartbroken for her son; she just felt that it was wrong to scold him in public, even though it was a family dinner and Chunnuan was still there.

If your son is irresponsible, won't your daughter-in-law feel bad if she finds out?
The old man is just making things difficult for his daughter-in-law.

Zhao Chengxun received her signal and had no choice but to swallow back the words he was about to say.

Spring is here... These parents are quite adorable.

Suddenly, Chunnuan felt a tightening in her stomach, and then...

“Bai Zhi…” A warm stream flowed out and dripped onto the ground. Chun Nuan knew that her water had broken.

"Young Madam..." Bai Zhi exclaimed in surprise after looking in the direction Chun Nuan's eyes, "Young Madam, what's wrong?"

This girl still hasn't experienced it.

"what happened?"

Zhou noticed something was wrong and looked over: "Oh dear, she's about to give birth! Quickly take the midwife to the courtyard and fetch a doctor..." "There's no shortage of doctors here." Zhao Chengxun felt that his wife was getting more and more flustered. The old master, he, and his eldest son were all doctors. The backbone of Baicaotang for three generations was here. Looking around Changzhou, how many doctors were as capable as them?

Even so, they still lack doctors?
"Oh, I was just as anxious." Zhou Shi slapped her son on the forehead when he saw him staring in disbelief. "What are you standing there for? Quickly take Nuannuan back to your yard, to that room specially prepared for childbirth..."

"Ah, oh, okay!"

Zhao Minghua was truly shocked by her own mother's words: "She's about to give birth."

Is she about to give birth and come out?

What should he do?
Holding Chunnuan in her arms, she strode into her yard.

I placed him on the bed and held Chunnuan's hand tightly.

"It hurts, doesn't it?"

Zhao Minghua suddenly felt a little scared. He had heard Dr. Chen say that childbirth was a terrible thing: the child is born while the mother dies, and even if you have the life to drink chicken soup, you may not have the life to meet the King of Hell. He now had only one thought: could he not have a child?

"Fortunately."

Chun Nuan could tell from his flustered appearance that he was scared.

The usually spoiled brat was now completely at a loss, which made Chunnuan both amused and annoyed, and at the same time, a little touched.

It doesn't matter what outsiders think of him, but he knows himself to be a very, very good person.

"If it hurts, pinch me or bite me, okay?"

"Get out." His mother, Zhou, grabbed him by the collar and said, "Your wife is giving birth, what are you doing here, a grown man? Get out."

"Mom, I want to watch Nuannuan give birth."

"Get out." Zhou laughed angrily: "Listen to what you're saying. I don't care how you usually play around, but don't cause trouble or interfere with the midwife's delivery. That's not love, it's harming Nuannuan."

"mother……"

"Get out."

Zhou felt that she, as a mother, had lost all her authority; he wouldn't even try to persuade her anymore.

"You can go out now, I'm really fine."

Chunnuan knew it wouldn't be that fast yet, and her pain wasn't that intense.

"really?"

"It's really nothing, you can go out first, the child and I will be fine."

"Okay, I'll wait for you outside. Call me if you need anything."

"Pah, what could possibly be wrong?" Zhou quickly spat three times. "Children say the darndest things, children say the darndest things, nothing at all."

Spring is here... Is this a man about to become a father, or just innocent childish talk?

However, to be honest, this was her first time giving birth.

I've seen a lot, but I've never done it myself, so I'm still a bit unsure.

"Bai Zhi, bring me the medicine from those two bottles I told you about."

"Yes, young mistress."

I also need to prepare the medicine that Chunnuan brought herself, and I also told Baizhi how to take it.

"If anything happens, you must wake me up to give me my medicine. Don't let me fall into a deep sleep, understand?"

"Young mistress, you will be alright. Your servant will stay by your side."

Bai Zhi felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this.

Spring is here... There's nothing she can do, she can't give birth to herself.

She's always been the one to save lives, but now that she's entrusting her life to someone else, she's not entirely confident.

"By the way, has anyone gone to inform my mother and the others?"

It's more reassuring to have your own family members present when you give birth.

"Don't worry, Nuannuan, I've already sent someone to invite the Xiao family ladies," Zhou said. "You don't need to worry too much; the Bodhisattva will protect you and keep you safe and sound."

"Well, thank you, Mom."

Zhou, the mother-in-law, is very kind-hearted, and Chunnuan is very grateful for her arrangements.
